Executive Director’s Corner
I was glad to see so many of you at the Believe & Achieve Banquet.
Meeting some of you for the first time and seeing familiar faces
as well, was the highlight of the event for me. It was particularly
exciting to hear of the progress that many participants are making
at school, at home, at programs, and at work. It was gratifying to
learn how involvement in SEASPAR programs had helped these
individuals in attaining developmental goals, made them more
confident, and provided a solid social background that enabled
them to excel on the job.
Congratulations to Becky Berman, SEASPAR’s Cultural Artist of
the Year and to William Porch, SEASPAR’s Athlete of the Year.
They certainly have demonstrated that they believe and they have
achieved. We are so proud of you and your accomplishments!
If you use Facebook, be sure to “like” SEASPAR. It is a great way of seeing
what’s happening and a good source of up-to-date information for
weather-related issues that affect programs. Facebook users are the first
to have updates on programs and see pictures of events as they happen.
SEASPAR’s electronic newsletter, distributed approximately every
three weeks, is another way to stay on top of all that’s happening. If
you have not yet shared your email address for the E-News, please
do! You don’t want to miss the latest news and information.
The annual Holiday Spectacular is a “must see.” It is on Monday,
December 7. at the Theatre of Western Springs. This special event
is a showcase of the amazing abilities of SEASPAR’s participants.
See the back page for details. I hope to see you there!
Thank You! SEASPAR extends its appreciation to Richard Andrews
for his service on the SEASPAR Board of Directors. He served as
the representative of the Village of Indian Head Park for the past four
years. We wish him well as he steps back from his public responsibilities
to enjoy time with his family! Don’t be a stranger, Rich!
Best wishes for a terrific fall,
Board Meetings: The SEASPAR Board meets the third Tuesday of
every month at SEASPAR at 3:30 p.m. For information, call 630-960-7600.
The public is welcome.

2015 PARK PURSUIT CHAMPIONS
For the second year in a row, SEASPAR had a team in IPRA’s Park Pursuit.
Park Pursuit is a scavenger hunt that is similar to the popular show The Amazing Race
but is run all on foot. It rotates location every year and this year it was in Rosemont. The
team of Dawn Krawiec, Greg Pavesich, Aaron Hirthe, and Matt Corso participated in
the competitive division and took first place! For their efforts, they received a traveling
trophy to display at SEASPAR and bragging rights for a year.
WHAT ARE CPRP AND CTRS?
CPRP stands for Certified Park and Recreation Professional and CTRS stands for Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist. This status
is given to leisure service professionals who can demonstrate through education, experience, and current practice that they meet
and exhibit certain predetermined qualifications established by the National Recreation and Park Association Certification Board and
the National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certification. These professionals have earned a Bachelor’s or higher degree from an
accredited program, have passed a certified examination, and maintain sanctioned educational units.

SEASPAR thanks all of the dedicated and caring support staff and volunteers for
their time and hard work during the summer program season. Their efforts make
it possible for SEASPAR to offer quality programs. SEASPAR congratulates all of
the award recipients.
2015 Staff Awards - At the Believe & Achieve Banquet on May 14, support staff
members were recognized for their longevity at SEASPAR with special gifts. In
addition, the following awards were presented to exceptional staff for their
outstanding dedication to programs and participants:
Super Star – Brian Klama, of Lisle, started working with
SEASPAR in 2001. In January of 2009, he was hired to work
SEASPAR’s brand new adult day program, EAGLES. Over
time, Brian has established a special relationship with
each and every one of them. Brian’s playful personality
keeps the EAGLES participants laughing all day long. He
has also contributed to and planned many great trips
and outings for the EAGLES. He is always thinking about
the program and sends articles for the newsletter and
program ideas for the group. At EAGLES, Brian is the
fisherman, onion chopper, fish tank expert, griller, and
seamstress among many, many more.
Leading Light – Montez Hogan, of Downers Grove,
began his journey with SEASPAR in May 2014. A mentor
is defined as “a wise and trusted counselor or teacher.”
Montez is truly a mentor to all the children he works
with whether it’s a child he is overseeing or all the children
in the park district program. He is typically greeted with
high fives from all the kids and interesting facts about
their days that they can’t wait to share with him. Montez
exemplifies everything an Inclusion Aide should be. As well
as inclusion, he has contributed to EAGLES and weekly
programs and is valued by the peers he works with.
Montez’s strong character extends outside of his SEASPAR responsibilities. He enlisted
in the Army and is currently serving his country in Cuba.
Virtuous Volunteer – Prince Winbush, of the Woodridge
Park District, provides SEASPAR’s Sunshine Through
Golf program with countless hours of golf instruction
and an unwavering dedication to the participants he
has served for the past 10 years. Prince is the Assistant
Golf Pro at Village Greens of Woodridge. He regards
our golfers as friends and not clients. He goes above
and beyond what is expected of him while facilitating the
weekly meetings. Over the years, Prince has had to
evolve his approach to best teach this sport to the beginner
and experienced golfer alike. He never misses a practice.
He has a positive energy around him that is unmatched and to say he is a special man
with a special purpose in life is an understatement. We are proud to call him a friend
of SEASPAR.

Programs for Everyone
SWIMMING
SEASPAR has partnered with Coach Eve Learn to Swim and their certified instructors to provide quality swim lessons. In the progressive
classes, swimmers are introduced to basic water skills, breath holding, and a number of submerging progressions which lead the participants
to unassisted swimming. Activities encourage self-confidence and strengthen gross motor skills. Swim lessons are taught in a small
group, and 1:1 assistance is provided as determined by the staff. Please be aware that we share the pools with the public. Note: A waiver
for The Lodge is sent with the program confirmation and must be returned to SEASPAR by Friday, September 11.

KARATE
The skills learned, and the training methods used in non-contact
karate, help release tension and increase focus. Participants learn
self-control, balance, and the ability to process and follow a series
of directions. This is a continuous program giving participants the
ability to advance through the belt system, and have the opportunity to
earn a black belt. All abilities are welcome as instruction is tailored to
each individual’s progress. A uniform, purchased at True Balance
Karate, is required for individuals participating in two or more
sessions of karate since they then become members of the karate
club. Note: A waiver is sent with the program confirmation and
must be returned by Friday, September 11.

HORSEBACK RIDING LESSONS
MUSIC LESSONS
If you are new to the saddle, or have been horseback riding before,
this program is for you. Riders develop balance and rhythm as they
feel the movement of the horse. Riders of all levels embrace the
ageless goal of lightness and harmony with one’s equine partner.
Participants must be ambulatory and able to sit on a horse without
a riding partner. The Hanson Center follows the Professional
Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International’s (PATH)
guidelines. Note: Waivers are sent with the program confirmation
and must be returned to SEASPAR by Friday, September 11.
Research demonstrates that studying music makes you smarter!
Participants ages five and older can choose between piano, keyboard,
drums, or voice lessons. Bring a spiral notebook, pencil, and any
music books you have used in the past. Participants should indicate
their lesson time on the registration form. Guitar students must
provide their own guitar and drum students need drum sticks
and a practice pad. Lessons are one half hour each. Musicians
have the opportunity to participate in the Holiday Spectacular,
held on Monday, December 7. Note: Returning students retain

happening around you. In the past few months, we have seen
the Paralympic movement take a giant leap forward. The USA

the World Championship in Buffalo, New York. This victory comes
with more than just a medal; the championship game was aired
live on NBCSN. Another attention grabber for the Paralympic

OKLAHOMA
NORTHWESTERN FOOTBALL
Set in the turn of the century Oklahoma Territory, tensions mount
between the local farmers and cowboys over the use of land. In
the midst of it all is the rugged cowboy, Curly, who’s fallen for
the strong-headed farm girl, Laurey. Despite their fiery spirits
and at times tumultuous relationship, the two are destined to
start a life together in the soon-to-be state called Oklahoma! This
performance is filled with some of the most recognized songs in
theater including “Beautiful Morning,” “Surrey with the Fringe,”
“People Will Say We’re in Love,” and of course, the resounding
“Ok-la-hom-a.” Please have lunch before the event.
Get ready to cheer on the Wildcats as they take on the Ball State
Cardinals at Ryan Field. Bring $20 for concessions and souvenirs.

Selecting the perfect gift for that special someone can be a tricky
task, but SEASPAR is here to help. Staff assist with money transactions, asking for assistance, and finding the perfect gift. Bring
a shopping list and money for dinner. Participants may make purchases or just window shop.
It’s the story of nine-year-old Ralphie Parker growing up in middleAmerica in the 1940s. With Christmas right around the corner,
Ralphie has his bespectacled sights set on one thing, a Red Ryder
BB Gun. But at every turn, the young daydreamer hears those
five words that are the bane of his existence: “you’ll shoot your
eye out.” It’s a story filled with laughs, dreams, warmth, and family complete with a department store Santa, a Leg Lamp, a Snow
Suit, and friends that will never leave your side – even if your tongue
is stuck to a Flag Pole. The music is energetic, unforgettable and
ranges from gentle ballads to full-on show-stopping numbers.

Program Information
PICKUP/DROP-OFF
SEASPAR asks that parents promptly drop
off and pick up participants at the designated
program times. Before programs, staff are
busy preparing for the program and are
unavailable to supervise participants. After
programs, staff members may be scheduled
at another facility and, therefore, need to
depart soon after the program. By allowing
them to complete their work promptly, SEASPAR
can operate more cost efficiently. Be sure to
check in with the staff when dropping off and
picking up your child.
Families of participants who are not picked
up promptly are sent a letter that serves to
remind them of the concern. If the situation
continues, a charge is imposed for subsequent
late pickups. If a participant is picked up late
(more than 10 minutes) three times in three
months or less, a warning is sent stating that
the next late pickup(s) results in a payment
due to SEASPAR for the overtime. A rate of $18
per hour is used. Payment is due to SEASPAR
within one week of notification. If not paid
promptly, the amount is due prior to the next
registration. The staff makes every effort to
return on time from all outings; we ask your
cooperation in making pickups promptly.
If a participant is traveling home unsupervised,
parents or case managers must submit written
notice to the SEASPAR office. Please submit
this notice with the registration form. We ask
that you notify SEASPAR if someone other
than a familiar family member is picking up
your child.
ABSENCES
Call SEASPAR when a participant cannot attend
an activity. The number of staff hired is based
on perfect attendance. Help us avoid unnecessary expenses by advising us if a participant
will be absent. On special events, this allows
those on the waiting list to attend and means
that no tickets are wasted. Messages may be
left on the after-hours absence line. We realize
that last minute absences may not allow for notice;
however, we appreciate your assistance and
cooperation.

FAMILY PLAYGROUP
Child and Family Connections and SEASPAR have joined together to offer playgroups
to families of children with a disability, ages birth to three. The goal of the playgroup
is to bring families together in an open format, to play with other children and to meet
other parents with similar experiences. Toys, balls, books, the multi-sensory room, and
more are available. Siblings are encouraged to attend. The group meets the second
Tuesday of the month from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. at the SEASPAR program room
at the Lisle Recreation Center. For additional information contact Jenny Somone at
Child and Family Connections at 630-493-0400.
INCLUSIVE PROGRAMS
As part of SEASPAR’s continuum of recreation programs, inclusive services are provided
for residents who wish to participate in general recreation programs. For many individuals
with disabilities, participating alongside their peers without disabilities is a beneficial
and rewarding experience. SEASPAR can provide services to enhance an existing program
by training staff, adapting activities, developing behavioral modifications, and/or providing
additional support staff.
Parents should be aware of a few simple guidelines prior to enjoying an inclusive recreation experience. First, register according to the park district/recreation department
policies. Be sure to indicate on the registration form that your child needs an
accommodation. Next, the participant should be able to follow the rules of conduct
for the program, either with or without accommodation, and be willing to voluntarily
participate in scheduled activities. SEASPAR and its member entity staff encourage and
aid, but do not force participation. After registering, the member entity and SEASPAR
work cooperatively with you to provide reasonable accommodations. If you have any
questions, please contact Dana Herrera. We are happy to discuss options for making
this season a great one.
STROKE SUPPORT GROUP
SEASPAR, in cooperation with Hinsdale Hospital and LaGrange Memorial Hospital,
sponsors the Stroke Support Group for those who have had a stroke and their family
and friends. It provides educational sessions about strokes and how to rebound following
a stroke. Members encourage one another to face and overcome common problems
by sharing their own experiences. The group provides a welcoming atmosphere and a
sense of understanding, especially for those with communication and physical limitations.
Strength can be drawn from one another in this type of environment. A schedule of
activities and trips is available on our website.
ATLANTO AXIAL SUBLUXATION
Individuals with Down Syndrome are at risk of having Atlanto Axial Subluxation Condition
(ASC) that causes increased mobility in the cervical spine. For the safety of our participants,
individuals with Down Syndrome are not allowed to participate in the butterfly stroke
in swimming, diving, tumbling, gymnastics, high jump, and other activities unless they
have tested negative for ASC. An x-ray determines if the condition is present. Contact
SEASPAR for further details.

TRANSPORTATION
SAFETY PROCEDURES
The following procedures are required to ensure
the safety of our participants while riding in
our vehicles. SEASPAR reserves the right to
refuse to transport individuals. All passengers
must be sitting in seats or wheelchairs with
seat belts securely fastened or the driver will
not move the vehicle. All wheelchairs must have
brakes that are in good working condition
and can stop the chair from moving. SEASPAR
staff are responsible for determining whether
a participant can be transported safely. Persons
using an Amigo-type scooter or stroller must
transfer to a vehicle seat and use a seat belt.
AKTION CLUB
Through the joint sponsorship of the Downers Grove and Lombard Kiwanis Clubs
and SEASPAR, the SEASPAR Aktion Club is a unique community service organization.
Aktion Club is designed for adults who wish to help others. Due to the nature of this
Club, members must be able to independently perform service activities or perform
them with minimal supervision or support. Each year the group conducts fundraisers to support local, state, national, and international projects. They also perform
several service projects annually and compete in state and international Aktion Club
contests. Those interested in learning more about club, should contact Susan Friend.

Program Information
SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE
WEATHER CANCELLATIONS
The SEASPAR Board and staff are committed
to offering programs at the lowest possible
cost. However, due to financial restrictions,
some individuals may find it difficult to pay the
entire fee. To help those in need, a significant
amount of scholarship funds are made available
through the generosity of donors. Each year
community organizations and individuals contribute funds that are earmarked for scholarships. We appreciate this support which
allows participants to benefit from activities.
Weekly programs and special events may be cancelled due to inclement weather. Call
SEASPAR one to two hours before the program begins, or between 4:00 and 4:30 p.m.
for evening programs. If a program is cancelled, staff attempt to reach all participants
by phone to inform them of the cancellation. After hours, program changes are available
on the program update selection of the phone system. If indoor facilities are available
for weekly programs, the program is held as usual. Programs cancelled due to inclement
weather are not rescheduled.
Generally, scholarships are available for up to
50% of the program fee. Any balance due from
a previous season must be paid prior to receiving
additional scholarship funds. Scholarships are
not available for overnight trips, and are only
available to SEASPAR residents. Arrangements
for a payment schedule are also possible to
make the payment of fees more feasible. To apply
for a scholarship, contact Matt Corso at least
one week prior to the registration deadline.
Severe winter weather guidelines for cancelling programs outdoor programs or programs
with transportation for participants with physical disabilities:
• Temperature of zero or wind chill of -10° or less
All other programs with transportation:
• Temperature of -10° or wind chill of -20° or less
All programs (including indoor): snowstorm or blizzard situations when driving restrictions
and emergency accident plans are in effect (e.g., winter storm or blizzard warnings).
PARTICIPANT EXPECTATIONS
SEASPAR provides leisure opportunities for individuals with disabilities, and while
participating in our programs, we stress socialization skills, appropriate behavior, and
personal appearance. For the dignity and acceptance of individuals with disabilities,
and for their overall self-esteem and enjoyment in community outings, the staff has
developed a list of participant expectations. We ask that you assist us in fulfilling these
basic guidelines. The participant guidelines were developed for the betterment of our
participants, their self-esteem, and normalization.
• Clean, dry clothing.
• No bowel/bladder problems upon arrival at the program. If this is a concern, extra
clean clothing, cleanup supplies, and Depends garments must be sent with the
participant.
• Attention to body odors (should smell fresh).
• Appearance should be clean.
• Appropriate attire for program participation (gym shoes, warm-ups, or loose-ftting
clothing for athletic, sports, or exercise programs). If you have a question about
attire, call SEASPAR.
Staff will be consistent in stressing personal hygiene while participants are at programs.
Note: Program confirmations are mailed two weeks prior to the start of programs.

DISCIPLINE
MEDICATION DISPENSATION
SEASPAR applies a caring, positive approach to discipline. Staff review rules with
participants and are willing to work with parents to develop behavior modification
programs as necessary. When conduct expectations are not met, staff will take reasonable
steps to accommodate the behavior and minimize future risks. However, when
accommodations are attempted and are unsuccessful, or when no reasonable
accommodation exists to avoid future risks, SEASPAR may take actions such as
removing a participant from an activity for a short period of time, removing a
participant from an activity for the remainder of the day, suspending participation
for the next program meeting, or suspending participation in that program for the
remainder of the season. Notwithstanding SEASPAR’s option to use progressive
discipline, SEASPAR is not required to do so and may, at its sole discretion, forego
lesser forms of discipline at any time, and proceed immediately with suspending
participation for the remainder of the season.
The exchange of medication, information,
and participants can become hectic as a
group prepares to leave for an activity or at
the beginning of a program. To be sure that
all medication is in order and staff has the
appropriate information, we ask you to put
medication in specially-marked envelopes,
complete the label, and give it to the program
supervisor before the group leaves. To make
the process work more efficiently for overnight
trips, envelopes are sent to you along with
the packing list. For day trips, staff provides
envelopes at the drop-off point. For the
convenience of those who are involved in
many outings, or who take medication frequently,
we are happy to provide a supply of labeled
envelopes.
Listed below are examples of reasons for disciplinary action. This list, however, does
not constitute a comprehensive list of all acts which may subject the participant to
disciplinary action, including suspension from any program or activity. Instead, the
following list sets forth some of the more typical circumstances that arise. They include,
but are not limited to:
•
•
•
•
Making loud noises in particular settings where quietness is expected.
Inability to sit quietly in theaters, concerts, etc.
Showing lack of respect for other participants/patrons at activities.
Running in crowded areas or bolting from the group – this can cause disruption or
be a significant safety problem.
WELLNESS GUIDELINES
In consideration of other participants and staff, and to prevent the spread of contagious
illnesses, it is recommended that participants refrain from attending programs when
any of the following conditions exist:
CODE OF CONDUCT
SEASPAR asks all participants and family
members to observe the behavior code below,

clearly passed.

WAIVER & RELEASE IMPORTANT INFORMATION
SEASPAR is committed to conducting its recreation activities in a safe manner and holds the safety of participants in high regard. SEASPAR continually
strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions that are designed to protect the participants’ safety. However,
participants and parents/ guardians of minors registering for activities must recognize that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate.
You are solely responsible for determining if you or your minor child/ward is physically fit and/or skilled for the activities contemplated by this agreement.
It is always advisable, especially if the participant is pregnant, disabled in any way, recently suffered an illness, injury or impairment, to consult a physician

WARNING OF RISK
Recreational activities are intended to challenge and engage the physical, mental, and emotional resources of the participant. Despite careful and proper
preparation instruction, medical advice, conditioning, and equipment, there is still a risk of serious injury when participating in any recreational activity. Understandably,
not all hazards and dangers can be foreseen. Depending on the particular activities, participants must understand that certain risks, dangers, and injuries
due to inclement weather, slipping, falling, poor skill level or conditioning, carelessness, horseplay, unsportsmanlike conduct, premises defects, inadequate
or defective equipment, inadequate supervision, instruction, or officiating, and all other circumstances inherent to indoor and outdoor recreation activities
exist. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for SEASPAR to guarantee absolute safety.

and waiving and releasing all claims for injuries, damages, or loss which you or your minor child/ward might sustain as a result of participating in any and all

any and all injuries, damages or loss, regardless of severity, that my minor child/ward or I may sustain as a result of said participation. I further agree to waive
and relinquish all claims I or my minor child/ward may have (or accrue to me or my child/ward) as a result of participating in these activities against SEASPAR,
including their officials, agents, volunteers, and employees (hereinafter collectively referred as “SEASPAR”).
I do hereby fully release and forever discharge SEASPAR from any and all claims for injuries, damages, or loss that my minor child/ward or I may have or
which may accrue to me or my minor child/ward and arising out of, connected with, or in any way associated with these activities.
I understand that SEASPAR carries no medical insurance and the participant’s family must cover any medical costs incurred. I have read and fully understand
the above important information, warning of risk, assumption of risk and waiver, and release of all claims.
